A Very Special Opportunity for Eastman Camera Club Members

The Eastman Camera Club is sponsoring a one day photography workshop with Bill Fortney on Saturday, June 28.  Signup starts April 22.  Don't wait to sign up because there are only 15 spots available and it will sell out quickly.

The workshop will be a combination of shooting at Memory Lane in Rogersville and classroom instruction with Bill in the afternoon and evening.  The club is subsidizing this workshop and your cost is only $30.  This event is open to Camera Club members only.

Memory Lane is only open to the public once a year when thousands converge on the 1950's themed park.  We will have it to ourselves to explore and photograph old cars and trucks, gas stations, car dealerships, an amusement park, diner, drive in theater, church, covered bridge, railroad, and even an old airfield.

Here's the schedule (subject to change):

8:15             Meet at Meadowview Conference Center/Hotel in Kingsport
8:30             Drive to Memory Lane in Rogersville

9:00 - 1:00   Make photographic memories at Memory Lane

1:00 - 2:30   Lunch on your own

2:30 -6:00    Post processing and teaching sessions at Meadowview Conference Center in Kingsport

6:00 -7:00    Diner on your own

7:00 - 10:00 Hands on editing/critique/question and teaching sessions 

Don't Let This Happen To You

Participants will want to bring their own laptop with Lightroom or other photo editing package for the afternoon session.
